Achondroplasia is a genetic mutation disorder which affects structural components of body. There is no definitive treatment for the same. It is treated symptomatically. Antibiotics for infection ,surgery is advised in cases of spinal stenosis. Some may prescribe growth hormone but their effect is modest.
